Overall, such a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Great food, amazing service, and a spot I would definitely recommend to others. Looking forward to coming back again!

walked here as the wait for another brunch location was too long…read more bright, captivating space in a super convenient location. ordered the ensenada omelette and churro french toast and friends ordered the posole, sampler toast and pistachio waffles. unfortunately, the food sounds better than it tastes. by the looks of the waffles and pancakes, it was easy to see that a lot of food colouring is being used and there's not much actual flavour. friends enjoyed the posole and we enjoyed the churro french toast. omelette was wet, which i wasn't expecting, quite thin and wasn't texturally pleasing. perhaps the stronger dishes are the traditional mexican ones. staff is friendly, however, and attentive.

The staff was very accommodating in making sure the action was visible on a couple of their many large TV screens. It was a Monday afternoon so there was lots of open seating. We arrived during Happy Hour and were pleased to find a nice offering of a variety of items on the food menu. Tried all of the taco variations and enjoyed them all. We found the assortment of cocktail options inviting and ordered several rounds of drinks. We were not disappointed by any of the different choices. My only wish being that some of these delicious cocktails could be found on the Happy Hour menu. With any luck they will be the next time I visit, with or without traveling companions.

I, for one, immediately noticed the huge mural that heralds our Greatest Laker Ever the moment I pulled offve Live Oak into the small lot that abuts Fantastic. Digging further, I discovered that the "Eat Fantastic" quintet of restaurants that dot the greater LA metropolitan area ARE IN FACT a modernized spinoff of the "Cafe Fantastic" chain that Gen Xers like me fondly recall. Sheeeeeeeeeiiit. True story- All throughout my time at San Pedro High, my best friend Mick and I usta demolish their Combo Burger Platter (burger/fries AND onion rings, side salad and drink) for only $3.65. 40yr flashback over, your favorite Yelp correspondent went for Fantastic's pastrami sandwich combo. And while it doesn't come with a quintet of items guaranteed to fillya up- I can vouch that the pastrami is legit!!! Well seasoned, peppered, served steaming hot aboard a French roll gently slicked with mustard. I've had my share of fabulous pastrami in my time- Katz Deli in NY, Brent's Deli in Northridge and more locally and if you're in a severe 'strami fix...then Togo's #9 will do ya, too. This doesn't compete at those lofty levels, but for its price I'll order this eight days a week over the razor-thin pastrami dispensed by the overrated The Hat chain of pastrami-phixated locales! While this was a takeout order, I can attest that all of my.prior dealings w/ the Eat Fantastic staff has been just fine. Courteous and swift service.

My daughter had the eggs, sausage links, hashbrowns, and toast. She also had a hot chocolate, which looked amazing. All of the food and drinks were delicious. The plates were enormous and the helpings large. Most plates are about $20 but you do get a lot of food. If you come with somebody and split a plate, the cost, of course becomes minimal. Service is excellent. They have plenty of employees on staff to help with everything you need. We came on a Saturday morning, which is a busy time, but was able to get seated and served quickly. In the way of ambience, they have a lot of license plates, freeway type signs and other signage throughout the facility. It is very neat and clean and the decor is actually very nice.! If you are in Monrovia, I recommend you stop into this place for breakfast, you won't be disappointed!

I am not usually the biggest fan of bbq(a lot of bbq sauces aren't it for me)... but I LOVE Jake's, the secret is in the sauce!! It's sweet and tangy in the perfect way and ends up with a smoky flavor from when they cook it as well. I looooove the huge beef ribs here, and the chicken is pretty good too. I've also tried the baby back ribs, which my family loves but I'm more of a beef kinda gal. Haven't tried much else on the menu because I just love the beef ribs so much tbh. The fries and salad are good, some other sides kinda feel like an afterthought, but the sides aren't the highlight here. I like the "roadside" nostalgic vibe inside, and the staff are nice. Some of the staff have been there for a long time and know a lot of the customers. Overall, this is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, and when Monrovia comes up in conversation, I always mention Jake's :)

Flavorful, well-seasoned, and the bun held up to all the toppings without falling apart. Fries were crispy and well seasoned. The beignets: Didn't expect dessert to steal the show, but these did. Hot, fluffy, powdered sugar everywhere -- like New Orleans met California. We ordered one batch to share. Service was on point, vibe is modern-cozy, and portions are generous on burgers, not so much with tacos. For better tacos go to Baisin where tortillas are hand made and flavorful.

The applewood smoked bacon added great flavor, and the roasted tomato basil pesto sauce really brought the whole sandwich together. I had the Bourbon Barbecue Burger, and it did not disappoint. The bacon was excellent, and the combination of aged white cheddar, house barbecue sauce, and tempura battered onion rings created a burger that was packed with flavor. Every bite had a great balance of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. We also shared the braised short rib tacos, which were fantastic. The short rib was tender and flavorful, while the pickled onions, watermelon radish, and serrano peppers added freshness, texture, and just the right amount of kick. The fries were golden and soft. They were not particularly crispy, but they still paired well with the meal. Overall, everything we tried was delicious!

I wanted to try a place that served something other than typical American food and also had a good alcoholic beverage menu, so this seemed like a good choice. The wait wasn't bad, and I was seated toward the back of the restaurant in a quieter outdoor area, which I really liked. There was plenty of shade, comfortable seating, plants used as décor, and an overall relaxed atmosphere. It felt tucked away enough to enjoy the meal without too much noise. Convenient for me as i had my little one with me. I ordered a watermelon jalapeño margarita, but with vodka instead of tequila, and Tajín on the rim. It was delicious! It had a refreshing, flavorful taste which was exactly the kind of drink I was hoping for. For food, I ordered the steakhouse tacos. The tacos were tasty and cooked really well, but the portion size was a little disappointing. They only come with two tacos, plus tortilla chips and sauce, so paying around $16 felt a bit pricey for what you get. The food itself was good, but I definitely wished the portion was a little more generous. Customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, and I really liked my waitress. She had a warm personality and took care of my order within a reasonable amount of time. Place was worth trying. The atmosphere was nice, the drink was great, the food was cooked well, and the service was lovely.
